They are doing just fine. Like I said, there are plenty of reasons to be angry at them. This is not one of them. They are literally just doing what the law requires them to do: buy energy at wholesale prices, and sell it to customers at the same price they pay.

Like I said, if you're looking for someone to be mad at about the supply rate hike, I would look at the owners of the gas generation plants, who make a profit off of the high prices.

I would also look at the politicians who helped block gas transmission line expansions, which is one big reason Connecticut's gas prices are higher than other states'.

I would also lay some of the blame at the feet of the last administration, which held up development of offshore wind facilities that would have reduced our reliance on natural gas.

LOL. I don't love 'em, either, as a customer. But I used to work in the business, so I know where the money goes.
